"I don't understand how a person can drown after hitting a light pole."

Here's our moron of the day.



Body Of Man Fleeing Police Found In Pond

FAIRFIELD, Ohio -- The body of man who crashed his pickup truck into trees and ran from police was recovered from a nearby pond, authorities said Thursday.
Jason Nudds, 30, of Fairfield, was driving erratically down a road Wednesday night and hit a tree, a light pole and then another tree, police said.
Nudds was being interviewed by police at the scene when he ran into a 1-acre pond near Wildwood Country Club and started to swim.
He yelled to police: "Come get me, I'm a Marine," said Fairfield police Lt. Ken Colburn.
Nudds went under the water three times, then did not resurface. A police officer and two paramedics went into the water but could not locate Nudds.
Divers spent nearly five hours Wednesday night searching the pond and resumed the search Thursday.
Lisa Schwarz, who said she was Nudds' girlfriend and that the two became engaged on Monday, said he was an ex-Marine who served in Iraq and was a father of three.
"It's a nightmare," Schwarz said. "I don't understand how a person can drown after hitting a light pole."
Nudds' sister, Stephanie Martin, was a passenger in the truck. She received minor injuries.
Fairfield is about 10 miles north of Cincinnati.
